    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    Gonna show my ignorance here……what is that thing? Looks like a home machined rifle; which would make it even more cool. If manufactured, who makes it. I would like to read up and learn. Not a big AR guy or chassis gun guy, but that rifle is pretty unique and makes me want to know more...

    TO PAINT OR NOT TO PAINT!?

    You can some cool stuff with just a sponge (Manners cover-up) Friend requested in Altus colors Now sponge and stencils…that could get really interesting. I bet you could make some really cool effects.

    Fades…..Fades are key to me to get the variation without hard breaks. This is the base layer before I applied stencils For this pattern

    Need advice on custom build

    I was kinda in the same boat a few months back. Hard to find a light weight action with integral lug and less than 90 degree bolt. I tried to get an Apollo lite but after waiting 3 months and getting the “it will ship in 2 weeks” line three or more times I cancelled the order. I ended up...

    TO PAINT OR NOT TO PAINT!?

    ….didn’t realize it was specifically a “spray paint” thread. Title says “paint.” Started off with Duracoat a few years ago and it’s a good option along with C-series Cerakote. Also, Duracoat has their aerosol kits too so there are several good alternatives to spray paint that do not require...

    TO PAINT OR NOT TO PAINT!?

    Some patterns from Freedom Stencils Weapon Works stencils… Sorry for the borderline “high-jack”. If anyone cares to ask about the patterns I thought they were pretty unique when I found them. I just started getting into the more detailed patterns myself. I like almost any DIY project...

    TO PAINT OR NOT TO PAINT!?

    Coyote Tan Tikka - “home brew” There is a marble trick that really helps with masking for 2-tone flutes. You paint the base coat and let dry. Cover the barrel with 1 layer of tape keeping the overlap of tape to a minimum. Use a marble or steel ball bearing that is about twice as wide as...

    Lock-ease

    I had a dud proof barrel that air-gauged low spec. Shot like shit no matter what I loaded. 30 cal Proof chambered by a renowned smith service group. Replaced the barrel with a Bartlein and virgin shots were around 1/4 MOA. Funny how that works. In defense of Proof, I have another 300 PRC...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    Nothing special really. The Long Action Hawkins Hunter will work fine. The only thing is to check the pillar or bedding block heights to ensure they are the same or nearly the same lengths as the Hawkins pillars sent with the bottom metal. This is a CIP 300 PRC Hawkins Hunter

    Can I rechamber a barrel after overpressure round?

    If you have fire-formed brass before the overpressure round, you can load a minimum powder charge round (or even less than minimum) using full-length sized brass and fire-form in the chamber post incident. Comparing the brass before and after the overpressure can give you indication if any...

    The BADDEST Cerakote you’ve ever seen COTTONMOUTH SNAKE REM 700

    I can’t help but show this picture of Kryptek that Brandon “Short-bus” from Custom Gun Coating painted: This is the best Kryptek I’ve ever seen painted.

    The BADDEST Cerakote you’ve ever seen COTTONMOUTH SNAKE REM 700

    Those are pretty cool! I’m a big time Cerakote pattern fan. I started another thread hoping it would catch traction for posts like this. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/show-me-custom-cerakote-bolt-guns.7125523/#post-10359327 I think I posted more of what I painted than anyone esle.

    As I understand you put “left hand” in the notes and they will e-mail an order confirmation for you to approve before the order is active.

    SA BDL Feeding Issues

    PS - do you get bolt glide-overs, nose dives or bolt wedging the cartridge?

    SA BDL Feeding Issues

    Ass look low to me. I’ve fought these before and set a few newly assembled rifles. I don’t see enough bolt to case overlap at the cartridge base. The tolerances in the mag boxes are generally bad. You may need to bow the sides out some of its rubbing on the follower. Springs sometimes need...
